ers, and the up-country grape crop cut
off. first by frost and then the dry. hot
north wind, the vignerons OF South
California naturally hope for good
price for their grapes this year.
The crop of peaches, apricots, pears,
plums and apples is also very abundant.
Wherever one goes he sees the trees
breaking beneath their burden OF half
grown fruit. For next spring there is
an excellent promise in the orange crop.
The young fruit on the trees is abundant,
and it is developing in most satistac-
tory manner.
MATERIAL PROGRESS.
At all the towns in the valley the best
index of material growth is the opening
up of new lumber yards, and the large
amount of building material being han
died at each. Planning mills are also the
order of the day; and now so much ma
terial is demanded that each town does
its own millwork.
New hotels are also good exponent
of growth. Santa Ana has had new
hestelry Just opened, and the Palmyra
at Orange is one of the prettiest hotels
in the country. So great was the de.
mand for it, that Mr.. Culver was forced
to open it before the painters were done.
In few more days the last workman
will be out of the building, and formal
opening will take place.
If lumber yards. planning mills and
hotels fail to prove development, the
opening up of banks will carry convic.
tion that our interior towns are arriving
at step of growth justifying the putting
on of city airs. Orange is the last place
in the valley to establish financial
institution to do the banking for the
community. The new venture starts !
out under an excellent promise OF sue.
